Standard "Startup" lists are 90% real estate rentals and individual consultants. Our AI agents verify application cycle volume, demo day frequency, and mentor network depth to find verified Tier 1 Accelerators, Corporate Startup Programs, and University Incubators.

The "Startup" Data Blur

Why generic filters miss the venture-builders.

An "Incubator" could be a government-funded office rental or a global machine like Y Combinator. If you sell specialized SaaS perks, venture debt, or legal automation, you need the programs with batches.

You need to filter out the real estate plays and find the Venture Batches with active portfolio management.

Anatomy of a High-Value Accelerator Lead

In the startup ecosystem, the "Batch Volume" and "Exit History" define the enterprise. A program graduating 100+ startups a year is a primary hub for B2B service providers.

We extract these "Ecosystem Signals" to help you find the true movers.

Tech Fingerprints

  • Application: Detection of Gust, Typeform, or specialized portals.
  • Management: Usage of AirTable, HubSpot for Startups, or Notion.
  • Perks: Integration with AWS Activate, Stripe Atlas, or Segment.

Operational Signals

  • Demo Days: Presence of a public event calendar with recurring demo days.
  • Batch List: Public "Our Startups" or "Portfolio" page with >50 entries.
  • Mentors: Presence of a "Mentor Network" page with industry leaders.

Outreach Strategy: The "Perks" Play

If you sell a B2B SaaS tool, filter for accelerators with Batch Applications open in the next 30 days.
Pitch: "Support your upcoming batch with an exclusive 90% discount on [Product] for all your founders..."

Verification: The "Activity" Check

We validate accelerators by their recent output.

  • Press: Are they announcing recent follow-on funding for their portcos?
  • Team: Do they list "Managing Directors" and "Program Managers"?
  • Digital: Does the site have an active login for founders/mentors?

This ensures you pitch to functioning venture-engines, not just empty co-working spaces.
